On with the next chapter…
Chapter SixThe door swung opened and a young boy around the age of five looked abruptly at the gang. The boy must of sense they were visitors and called for someone inside the B&B.
"MUM!" he yelled. "There's visitors' at the front."
"Alexander, can't you see I'm busy," the woman yelled back. That voice is familiar, Joey wondered. "Get your Uncle Pacey to greet them." Oh, no. Not Pacey Witter, Joey grumbled to herself. She really didn't want to see him, although it would be sooner or later, Joey would come face to face with Dawson and Pacey. Why was Pacey Witter working at her sister's B&B? Joey wondered.
Marissa and Summer must of sense how Joey was feeling as both girls were watching her like a hawk. They both knew how nervous Joey was.
Seth was trying to remember where he had heard that unusual name before. Ah, yes. Last time I came, I remember some boy named Pacey. He was the one, who was happy to see Jo go. As soon as Seth shook off his thoughts, a tall, handsome brunette boy was standing before them. Joey turned away as soon as she saw the sight of Pacey Witter, all grown up. She must have admit, puberty did go well with Pacey Witter, but she doubt he remember her.
"Ooo, who's that gorgeous guy?" Summer asked, getting a light punch from Seth. "Cohen! Stop hitting on me."
"Then stop drooling all over the carpet," he mumbled under his breath.
"You would like that, would you?"
"Okay, you two please it," Marissa said, breaking them off. "It's embarrassing how much you two fight."
Pacey was puzzled at first, but he was laughing as he watch the couple arguing. They were entertaining, yet it reminded of him when he was younger. "So, I take you guys aren't from around here?" he asked. Pacey knew they weren't around from the moment he saw them. The preppy clothes and the tans, although the boy, who was yelled at before, didn't show any signs of tan. "Where are you from?"
Ryan chose the moment to speak up. "Newport Beach."
"As in California. Wow, I haven't seen there before, but I have a friend living there. It's well complicated."
The friend is me. Joey sighed. I'm surprised he hasn't figured it out, but Pacey has always been slow.
"How complicated?" Seth asked, getting a glare from Joey.
"Well, I don't know if I should say, since it's really not my place. By the way, if I haven't introduced myself, I'm Pacey Witter," he smiled.
"Oh, it's nice to meet you, Pacey," Summer smiled, seductively, while getting a glare from Seth. "I'm Summer Roberts, this is Marissa Cooper, Ryan Atwood, Seth Cohen and Joey… um." She didn't know which surname to say. Summer didn't particularly want Joey killing her.
"Coh…" Seth started to say, but Joey interrupted him. "Joey Potter."
Pacey's eyes widened as Joey mentioned her name. "Joey?"
"Yes, it's me. I'm surprised you remember me. I thought I was a figment of your imagination," she said, sarcastically.
"Well, Potter. I see you're as sarcastic as you were."
"Well, I can be more sarcastic," she muttered, turning her face away from him.
"She sure can," Seth grumbled.
"Bite me, Seth."
"I see, you still tell people to bite you," Pacey said.
"Only people who annoy me or piss me off."
Summer and Marissa looked on and they knew what would happen when people got Joey pissed and it wasn't pleasant.
"Let's save this happy reunion, later," Summer spoke. "We would love to go to our rooms. I know, I'm tired, Coop, Ryan."
They both nodded. "Yes, so Pacey can do that?" Marissa asked.
"Sure," he said, still looking at Joey. He couldn't believe Joey Potter was right in front of him. The questions, he wanted to asked but couldn't. Why was she back in Capeside? Wasn't she supposed to be happy in California? And, why was she so angry with him? Did she hold a grudge over him? The questions he wanted answered, but he knew he wouldn't have right now. Pacey knew he had to find someway to get Joey to answer them. In the meantime, he had to stop the thoughts going through his head as he led the group into the rooms. "Um, these are your rooms," he said, leading them. "The boys are staying here and the girls in the opposite room."
"Thanks," Summer smiled, as Joey grabbed her hand and led her inside. Closely the door with a bang, Joey sighed and sat herself on the bed. Maybe coming to Capeside wasn't a good idea afterall.
